Milo Anthony

Milo Anthony was born in Vinzzia, Sicily May 15, 1904. Milo, the son of a tattooist, came with his family to the U.S. in 1906. His father opened a shop in Boston upon their arrival and tattooed under the name John Brown. Milo was tattooed by Boston's finest, “Dad” Liberty and Frank Howard before he ever received a tattoo from his dad at the age of 21. Milo began tattooing in the 1920s with carnivals in New England and stayed on this circuit until the 1950's.
